Nonprofit Overview

Causes: Adult Education, Autism, Developmentally Disabled Centers, Disabilities, Education, Health, Human Services, Mental Health

Mission: Autism Citizen, Inc. is dedicated to the principle that every person with autism is a citizen. We advocate for their civil liberties through education and awareness with the aim of creating acceptance. We are focused on learning opportunities for business, government, and professionals. The rights of the autistic are routinely denied or ignored by others. Freedom is a right we fight to help those with autism enjoy. Autism has long been the subject of prejudice and misunderstanding. Awareness of the condition isn’t enough, but a stepping stone towards the true goal – acceptance. This can only be achieved by education. Knowledge is the way to truth. Education is the cure for ignorance.

One of the amazing services that this nonprofit provides is support for parents who have no idea where to turn for services and help. As a mom with zero experience finding support after the diagnosis, Autism Citizen was able to find the playgroups for kids and support groups for parents I desperately needed. Learning to communicate with him better and learning ways to help him grow and develop have made a huge difference. Super grateful for all the help and support.

My son is turning 19 and is autistic. A very smart man, and about to graduate HS. We became very worried about him "aging out" of the support structure he had in school and the questions for us ballooned. It kept us up a night for a good long time. The people at Autism Citizen had information and solutions for us we never knew about and had never even considered. Thanks so much for helping us get things in order

My name is Elliot and I spent most of my life bullied and it was a horrible experience. I saw all the amazing things autism citizen was doing to spread love and help prevent bullying and I wanted to help. Its been exciting to turn a negative that happened to me into a positive thru helping others who are different. I am glad there is autism citizen to help and I am so happy to help an organization by helping to spread love not hate.

As parents of an adult child living with autism, we will be forever appreciative for the support, access to information and resources Autism Citizen offers.

When they're kids, support is easier to find. When they become adults it becomes nearly impossible to find help or support. We would never be where we are today without this amazing organization!

Our family has a precious heart who is a low functioning autistic child. We were connected to Autism Citizen through a local agency who had worked with them in the past. The contact at Autism Citizen was compassionate, and an incredible listener. They knew so much about what we were going through. Like talking to a fellow parent.

We learned about certain options which lead us to additional resources. They were on the ball and could not have been kinder.

Moving into high school this year and things are still on track. Feel so blessed Autism Citizen guided our family right. The school didn't want to provide the necessary resources, but this organization gave us great references to get things straightened out. We feel empowered, and most important, informed and it's all thanks to Autism Citizen.

When our son was diagnosed with Autism, our whole world fell apart. A friend referred me to Autism Citizen and they helped us with finding help and getting the support he needs to thrive in school. Right now, our son is in the 7th grade and is doing great. I don't know where we would be if it weren't for Autism citizen.

Thanks for listening and the great advice, your organization has been so helpful. Sometimes it is just good to have a place to vent. We would be totally lost without this organization, hopeless to fight to the school on our own. We have made huge progress getting the accommodations we need. Far exceeds my expectations.

I have never hesitated to give to Autism Citizen over the past few years. They help so many people, a very vulnerable population, who would otherwise fall through the cracks in our system. Any needs that are met help these families continue on their own and helps them see that other people really do care about them, and it is organizations like this that make all the difference! Great Job.

As a donor, I completely trust that every cent that I give to Autism Citizen is going to help the autism community. We have been contributing to Autism Citizen for several years and signed up for some apps so that our earnings from those are donated.

We like how transparent they are on sites like this and Guidestar, that makes us feel very confident to know our donations are making a difference.

Words cannot express how grateful I am for the help Autism Citizen has provided to our family.

I'm the mother of a young man with Autism, Sensory Processing Disorder, Food Allergies, and Hypothyroidism. Autism Citizen has provided me all the support I could ever need to find help for my son.

I support Autism Citizen in their effort to help families that struggle through this difficult journey.

I've donated to them and would recommend them to anyone needing help with autism.
